Sub-Poissonian shot noise in molecular wires
S. Dallakyan,Sumit Mazumdar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the transport behavior of polyene molecules sandwiched between two metallic contacts using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism and showed that the current-versus-voltage curves can be asymmetric for asymmetrically substituted polyenes.

Dynamical instability of electric-field domains in ac-driven superlattices
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamical transport through a weakly coupled semiconductor superlattice, under an ac potential with frequencies in the THz regime, was analyzed by means of a general model for time-dependent sequential tunneling within a nonequilibrium-Green's-function framework.

TL;DR: A nonequilibrium theory describing the charge qubit dynamics measured by a quantum point contact is developed based on Schwinger-Keldysh's approach and the master equation to all orders in perturbation expansions is derived.

TL;DR: The Auger process can be used to tune optically the charge carrier occupation of the dot by the incident laser intensity, independently from the electron tunneling from the reservoir by the gate voltage.

Transition from metallic to tunneling regimes in superconducting microconstrictions: Excess current, charge imbalance, and supercurrent conversion
TL;DR: In this paper, the Bogoliubov equations were used to model the transmission and reflection of particles at the tunnel junction of normal-superconducting micro-constriction contacts, and a simple theory for the $I\ensuremath{-}V$ curves of normal superconducting contacts was proposed to describe the crossover from metallic to tunnel junction behavior.
